A New "Trick" for when you can't walk
Just discovered this one for myself. Meds hadn't started yet and walking was a problem as I got a bowl of cereal. Had a full half-gallon of milk and found that it made a perfect weight for turning my arm into a pendulum. That in turn restored arm swing which normalized balance. Could be effective in self-therapy. I had experimented with this earlier but not with this much weight. The effect is also like a metronome and gives you something to set a rhythm by.
